On my slow laptop (P3 600MHz), system-wide bash completions take too much time to load (> 2s), and a significant fraction of this time is spent loading git-completion.bash: $ time bash -c ". ./git-completion.bash" # hot cache, before this patch real 0m0.509s user 0m0.310s sys 0m0.180s Kirill noticed that most of the time is spent warming up the merge_strategy, all_command and porcelain_command caches. Since git is not used in each and every interactive xterm, it seems best to load completion support with cold caches and then load each needed thing lazily. This has most of the speed advantage of pre-generating everything at build time, without the complication of figuring out at build time what commands will be available at run time. The result is that loading completion is significantly faster now: $ time bash -c ". ./git-completion.bash" # cold cache, after this patch real 0m0.171s user 0m0.060s sys 0m0.040s Suggested-by: Kirill Smelkov <kirr@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Shawn O.
